Error description
********************** START OF APAR OPEN TEMPLATE ************* * Please open an apar with the following severity and information: * * * APAR Type: Internal Approver Initials: EA Severity: 3 Reported Release: 623 Compid: 5724C04EP Tivoli Enterprise Portal ABSTRACT: New product-provided workspace modifiable one time PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A new product-provided workspace can be modified one time after installation even if marked as not modifiable. RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: 1 Start TEP in candle internal mode 2 Logon with a user id in workspace admin mode 3 Create a new logical navigator node 4 Select the new navigator node and observe that the default 'workspace not defined' workspace is displayed. 5 Open the workspace properties and click the 'Do not allow modifications' and 'Product provided' options and save the properties. 6 Modify the workspace in some way and save it. Note that you will be able to save it repeatedly while in candle internal mode. 7 Logoff and restart the TEP in 'normal' mode e.g. without the candle internal mode switch. 8 Logon with the same user id in workspace admin mode. 9 Navigate to the workspace saved in step 6 10 Save the workspace. Observe that the 'not modifiable' popup does not appear. 11 Save the workspace again. Observe that the 'not modifiable' popup does appear.
Local fix
Before packaging the product-provided workspaces, start the TEP in 'normal' mode and logon with a user in workspace admin mode. Save each product-provided workspace one time without making any modifications. Package the workspaces.
Problem summary
In the portal client, read only workspaces created in IBM internal administration mode can be modified and saved once by an ordinary administrative user. Subsequent save attempts are blocked and the following message is displayed: "KFWITM185W This workspace has been marked read-only and cannot be modified. Do you want to create and save a new workspace with your changes?"
Problem conclusion
The logic was changed to ensure that only IBM administrative users are allowed to save workspaces that have been marked read-only. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0005
